A C# Reading List
Just a couple of quick links today.
First: One of the questions I get most frequently is "can you recommend some good books about learning to program better in C#? " The question is usually asked by a developer; the other day I was surprised to get that question from one of the editors of InformIT. She was kind enough to post the list on the InformIT web site, so check it out.
Second: Bill Wagner posts his own follow-up article on my recent MSDN magazine article about async/await. Check it out.

Really? No C# in a Nutshell? That seems like an unfortunate omission. I've never read "C# in a Nutshell", so I can't in good conscience recommend it one way or the other. I have heard others praise it. Incidentally, I was the technical editor of "VBScript in a Nutshell, 2nd edition" and I can heartily recommend it. :-) EricAnonymous

Thanks for the reading suggestions. If you were to recommend a single book out of that list, which would it be?Anonymous

C# in a Nutshell is a great book for those who already know C# or at least some other language. I would suggest learning C# from online videos or MSDN!Anonymous

I've read about half of those ... Jeffrey Richters CLR Via C# is my favourite book on C#.Anonymous

I'm also surprised by the lack of CLR via C#. Is this due to the material being covered by the books you did recommend? Admittedly, I never read Wagners, but afaik those are a whole different ballgame.Anonymous

Agree with previous commenters, I was shocked by not seeing Jeffrey's CLR via C# in the top of the list.Anonymous
